Oh no.
I'm so shocked and appalled I'll never fucking read George magazine again, because it's not like I've heard any of those things
before.
As to whether the
Kennedys represent America, OK: I grant you:
the Kennedys are decadent fucks. If they're
royalty, they represent a country that was
stolen through whatever means necessary - including
genocide and
slavery, compared with which
fucking Marilyn Monroe was almost a favor to humanity.
I can't name a family or community in this country without problems of
drugs and sex (evidently, the
Bay of Pigs and
Vietnam do not register as
crimes in
DMan's estimation - there is much less to be
pitied there than in the obvious
weaknesses in the character of many of the Kennedy clan). Most of us did not grow up under a
microscope, nor were we afforded all the
money and
protection necessary to fuel our various unhealthy obsessions.
Unlike the
Kennedys,
real royals (you know, all the
European fucks who
married their cousins and died of
syphilis) are terribly
sweet and good.
Do I really seem that
uncalm? I 'fess: I'm a
shirttail Kennedy, and I haven't seen my
heroin dealer in weeks.
